Built Environment

• ‘It is naïve to propose a deterministic view of the relationship between buildings and people who live in them. ….. Buildings can hinder or help the provision of quality care: in extreme cases they can prevent it but buildings by themselves can never provide it’

• ‘Quality of care depends upon staff morale, motivation and training. Hence it can be confidently argued that the quality of the social environment is of greater importance than the physical, for negative staff attitudes will negate the effects of even the best architectural design’.
